The best and worst of Hello Kitty - and it isn't all pretty

One of the most recognisable brands across the globe has to be Japan’s Hello Kitty – but just how far does merchandising featuring the cutesy little cat go?

The answer, it seems, is a lot. A lot far. Weird Asia News have compiled a gallery of some of the best (and they claim they’re all official) and it’s eye-opening to say the least. Let us know if you or someone you know…

… has used a Hello Kitty condom (yes, they're on sticks)…

… has flown on the Hello Kitty aeroplane…

…chomped on a Hello Kitty sausage…

…or has inhaled from the Hello Kitty bong (that one might be unofficial and slightly modified from a coin bank)

You just don’t get that level of commercial nous with Bob The Builder do you? More examples at Weird Asia News...
